1. Why Custom Smartwatches Are the Next Big Opportunity in 2025

The global smartwatch market is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2027, driven not just by consumer demand, but by niche verticals: healthcare, enterprise safety, religious tech, fitness coaching, and wellness innovation. Off-the-shelf models no longer cut it—brands need differentiation, control, and scalability.

That’s where custom smartwatch manufacturing shines. Whether you’re launching a private-label fitness brand, developing a medical-grade wearable, or creating a culturally tailored device (like a Muslim prayer-time smartwatch), partnering with an experienced OEM/ODM smartwatch manufacturer is your fastest route to market—with lower risk and higher margins.

At Shenzhen Geyan Technology, we’ve empowered over 300+ global brands across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia to bring their smartwatch visions to life—on time, on budget, and with full IP ownership.

·  Founding Member: Smart Wearable Industry Association & Chip Industry Promotion Association

·  End-to-end R&D: Hardware, Firmware, App, Cloud

2. OEM vs ODM Smartwatches: Which Path Fits Your Brand?

Not all “custom” smartwatches are created equal. Understanding your options is key:

OEM Smartwatch (Private Label / Rebranding)

Ideal for startups, e-commerce brands, or distributors needing fast time-to-market.

• Start from existing proven models
• Customize: logo, colors, packaging, app UI, Bluetooth name
• MOQ as low as 100–500 units
• Delivery in 4–6 weeks

Best for: Amazon FBA sellers, retail chains, fitness influencers

ODM Smartwatch (Fully Custom Development)

For brands building a unique product ecosystem or seeking patentable innovation.

• Full control over:
• Industrial Design (ID) & Mechanical Design (MD)
• PCB layout & sensor integration
• Proprietary algorithms (e.g., AI sleep scoring, ECG analytics)
• Custom mobile app + cloud backend
• Private mold ownership
• Scalable from prototype → mass production

Best for: Health tech startups, corporate wellness programs, IoT solution providers

At Geyan, we support both paths—with flexible engagement from concept to container shipment.

3. Why Geyan Stands Out Among China’s Smartwatch Manufacturers
